( Kirkus Reviews ) Cat Bearing Gifts A Joe Grey Mystery by Shirley Rousseau Murphy brings back the beloved furry team just in time for the holidays. “The heartwrenching stories of an orphaned child and a stray cat at Christmas will tug on more than a few heartstrings.” - Romantic Times on Cat Coming Home “Joe Grey and his ladyfriend Dulcie aren’t just your ordinary feline detectives. Murphy’s raised the stakes of the feline sleuth genre.” - Kirkus Reviews, praise for CAT IN THE DARK “This is delightful entertainment. It would be a true cat-tastrophe if you let it pass you by.” - Todd David Schwartz, CBS Radio, Four Stars (Highest Rating) on Cat Coming Home In this latest entry in Shirley Rousseau Murphy's award-winning series, feline P.I. Joe Grey and his four-legged cohorts are plunged into a nightmarish mystery. On the way home from visiting their friend Kate Osborne, tortoiseshell Kit and her elderly housemates, Lucinda and Pedric Greenlaw, are hurt in a terrible car crash. The accident is terrifying enough, but then two dangerous men steal the Greenlaws' Town Car, making off with a secret hoard of jewels and gold—a gift bestowed from Kate's newfound treasure. A badly shaken Kit hides from hungry coyotes in the forested hills above the highway, waiting for Joe, Pan, and their human companions, Ryan and Clyde Damen, to rescue her. Back home in Molena Point, yellow tomcat Misto, discovering a faded photograph of a child living fifty years ago, becomes lost in his memories of that past century—while Joe Grey and his tabby lady prowl an abandoned stone cottage where they've discovered two men hiding. The cats smell mildewed money and soon smell human blood, too. Though the cats know more than the thieves about the unique items stolen, their investigation is still in trouble as they claw their way to justice.
